Nguyen Lau. Ten-year-old Lau, paralyzed from the waist
down by a mortar fragment, was returned to Vietnam in 1970 after two
years of medical treatment in the United States. Larry Burrows found
Lau's homecoming - when the boy was no longer able to speak his native
language and required attention beyond the capabilities of his family
- emblematic of the Vietnam War. "Lau's is not the greatest tragedy
in Vietnam. But as one looks at the pictures of this courageous little
chap, one has to wonder whether the ultimate agony of this war is
not to be seen in his eyes."
